ATF for Noisy Lifters, who has done it?

That was an old school trick back in the day

In those days you had flat tappet lifters and they could get gummed up
some of the time

The ATF is high in detergent and it would help to free up the sticking
lifters

They made some stuff called Marvel Mystery Oil which worked great
for that very same problem

As for running it 1K to 3K miles

We used to run it for just a day or two and it would do the trick

I'd not be comfortable running it for that long

Here is my take on your noisy lifters

If you just got new lifters .......
They have not had time to get gummed up

You got noise because they are not adjusted correctly :Word:

Warm it up and crank down on the beoches.

Very wise words from Mr Grady.

One thread is enough.
